Transcript
- 0:27Speaker 1: Back overlim unlock the doors open right here.
- 0:33Speaker 2: This is Sarah Evans. She's just found the body of
- 0:36Speaker 2: her good friend Benny King, covered in blood inside his
- 0:41Speaker 2: own home.
- 0:42Speaker 3: There's a.
- 0:44Speaker 4: There's all over a wall.
- 0:46Speaker 3: On my guest the ladder.
- 0:48Speaker 2: The killer, however, was nowhere to be seen, and every
- 0:51Speaker 2: witness they had blamed somebody different.
- 0:54Speaker 5: Well, I know you're a skinny guy about six foot
- 0:56Speaker 5: six with a young guy, he said, young, like, did
- 1:00Speaker 5: you start to still there?
- 1:03Speaker 6: She's been taking all his money.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Weeks later, another murder happened across town in exactly the
- 1:10Speaker 2: same fashion. They now had a serial killer on their hands,
- 1:14Speaker 2: and they had to do everything they could to figure
- 1:16Speaker 2: out who it was and where they were hiding out
- 1:19Speaker 2: before they killed again. Was it all started on April
- 1:34Speaker 2: eighth when Akron police received this phone call.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Of your mercy no.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Immediately police rushed to the scene.
- 2:05Speaker 7: Mhm okay, we'n hang over there, force and you can
- 2:13Speaker 7: have room to work here.
- 2:18Speaker 2: The ground floor had been ransacked, but it was the
- 2:21Speaker 2: scene upstairs that had terrified Sarah. Upstairs lay her good friend,
- 2:27Speaker 2: sixty nine year old Benny King, and cops would find
- 2:30Speaker 2: that he'd been stabbed thirty three times.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Where's his injuries? Right?
- 2:37Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 2:38Speaker 3: I had not touched Henny.
- 2:39Speaker 9: All I did was touch him and see if you
- 2:41Speaker 9: would say, but he's stepping cold.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not gonna move him.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Initially, the cops had no idea what could have possibly
- 2:55Speaker 2: happened to Benny, but as they explored the house more,
- 2:58Speaker 2: a clear picture would slowly be painted of exactly what
- 3:02Speaker 2: had happened. His bed was absolutely soaked in blood, and
- 3:07Speaker 2: his walls were covered in it too. Police presumed that
- 3:11Speaker 2: Benny had been attacked in his bedroom before he crawled
- 3:14Speaker 2: into the hallway begging for his life, where the killer
- 3:17Speaker 2: finished the job. The majority of the cuts were to
- 3:20Speaker 2: his head, neck, and upper body, but there were a
- 3:23Speaker 2: few wounds on his hands as well, indicating that Benny
- 3:26Speaker 2: had courageously tried to fight back. The police don't know
- 3:30Speaker 2: this yet, but in just a few weeks this exact
- 3:33Speaker 2: scene would be found across town in an identical murder.
- 3:37Speaker 2: For now, though, what police found in the kitchen was
- 3:40Speaker 2: even more bizarre, and the idea can't find her.
- 3:44Speaker 3: I didn't figure around too much there.
- 3:45Speaker 7: I'm really not going to well because the way you
- 3:48Speaker 7: called it said that all cabinets in the kitchen are open,
- 3:50Speaker 7: and she chucked on one right raised and said, I
- 3:52Speaker 7: don't know why that would be by that, by someone
- 3:55Speaker 7: who goes in there looking for something, Like all the
- 3:59Speaker 7: counters here are open, I mean, who does this?
- 4:04Speaker 2: Oddly, Though nothing seemed to have been displaced or stolen,
- 4:09Speaker 2: something very strange is going on. So the cops turned
- 4:13Speaker 2: to the person that discovered Benny's body, Sarah Evans, who
- 4:16Speaker 2: had some crucial information that would start to spiral this
- 4:20Speaker 2: case into a complex mystery.
- 4:22Speaker 7: Was it the back door that you found found open?
- 4:25Speaker 5: No, when I come back to eleven three, this door
- 4:27Speaker 5: was locked, okay, And.
- 4:29Speaker 3: When when I called you, when I come back.
- 4:31Speaker 10: Up, the front door was unlocked.
- 4:33Speaker 7: Okay. So you actually hear this morning thirty and you
- 4:36Speaker 7: spoke to him then, No, I.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Didn't seem that. I thought he laid down take a nap.
- 4:41Speaker 7: And then you came back a little bit after one,
- 4:42Speaker 7: and that's when you found the door open.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Yeah, it was unlocked.
- 4:45Speaker 11: The back door unlocked too.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Did this He usually keep his doors locked, so said,
- 4:52Speaker 2: he locked it.
- 4:53Speaker 3: He goes take a nap, but as soon as he
- 4:55Speaker 3: gets up in the morning, he unlocks it. Was it dog?
- 4:57Speaker 2: How when when you got here?
- 4:59Speaker 10: Oh, the doll was.
- 5:01Speaker 12: And that's finally awareness the standover the dog in.
- 5:05Speaker 3: The chair for one.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Detectives then asked Sarah if she could think of anyone
- 5:10Speaker 2: who had any issues with Benny. That's when she mentioned
- 5:13Speaker 2: two brothers, Justin and Johnny, who were often seen visiting Benny.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Sarah also told them that they had ongoing problems with
- 5:21Speaker 2: Benny and were sometimes seen fighting with each other. In fact,
- 5:25Speaker 2: their most recent argument resulted in Benny chasing them off
- 5:29Speaker 2: his property with a shotgun. Justin also had problems with
- 5:33Speaker 2: drugs and was always on the lookout for a way
- 5:36Speaker 2: to make money fast, so it's rumored that he'd stolen
- 5:39Speaker 2: something of Benny's and pawned it, causing all these arguments.
- 5:44Speaker 2: The drug addiction, history of exploiting Benny, as well as
- 5:47Speaker 2: the gun incident just days prior, meant that police figured
- 5:50Speaker 2: they finally had their suspects. But that's when Sarah mentioned
- 5:54Speaker 2: a suspicious vehicle that had been spotted outside Benny's house
- 5:58Speaker 2: right around the time of his staff.
- 6:01Speaker 5: That was up through here.
- 6:03Speaker 13: Earlier today this morning.
- 6:05Speaker 2: I guess it sped away.
- 6:07Speaker 13: They come back.
- 6:09Speaker 10: It was earlier morning, I come back and sped away again.
- 6:13Speaker 13: He said it was a younger white guy driving who
- 6:16Speaker 13: said that.
- 6:18Speaker 5: A guy I can't tell you because.
- 6:19Speaker 1: He's in trouble that works.
- 6:23Speaker 6: For I have no idea, so I'm just giving you
- 6:26Speaker 6: that for I was getting.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Okay, this seems like vital information. But the only guy
- 6:31Speaker 2: that saw it is quite literally on the run from
- 6:34Speaker 2: the cops without standing warrants. So the officer tries to
- 6:38Speaker 2: see if he can strike a deal.
- 6:39Speaker 10: Okay, we'll tell you what.
- 6:41Speaker 7: There's an detective comming. Okay, I understand the other friend
- 6:45Speaker 7: has has some warns. If it's possible that we can
- 6:49Speaker 7: see we're not arresting, not doing anything, would you guys
- 6:52Speaker 7: can go ask us if you want to talk, talk
- 6:53Speaker 7: to us.
- 6:53Speaker 3: Then.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Ordinarily a fugitive would never agree to a deal like this,
- 6:57Speaker 2: but because Benny was such a nice and respected guy
- 6:59Speaker 2: in the nameghborhood, he comes outside just a few seconds
- 7:02Speaker 2: later to tell the cops everything he knows.
- 7:07Speaker 14: How's going, brother, I was here on my parents porch
- 7:11Speaker 14: and not saw this goldish older style hummer, big body
- 7:14Speaker 14: hummer speed away from over here. I don't like I
- 7:17Speaker 14: didn't hear no noises like gunshots or anything about what
- 7:21Speaker 14: time was?
- 7:21Speaker 13: What was that?
- 7:22Speaker 15: Uh?
- 7:24Speaker 14: Yeah, ten thirty eleven ish I was up here, maybe twelve.
- 7:30Speaker 1: I came up here.
- 7:31Speaker 13: No, it had to be like I was up here
- 7:33Speaker 13: at eleven thirty.
- 7:34Speaker 2: Okay, it had to be ten thirty or something.
- 7:36Speaker 12: Okay.
- 7:37Speaker 14: So between streaming about something and all this happened, she
- 7:41Speaker 14: discovered that I've not seen that.
- 7:43Speaker 7: You've never seen that coming around here and nothing. Did
- 7:45Speaker 7: you have to have her to see who was?
- 7:46Speaker 5: Who is driving a white male? Okay, belondes, short hair, short,
- 7:50Speaker 5: kind of crew cut like gears. Okay, I would say
- 7:53Speaker 5: anywhere from his mid twenties thirty thirties. He sped around
- 7:57Speaker 5: the corner so fast his tires were squealing.
- 7:58Speaker 7: Okay.
- 8:00Speaker 2: If the car had shown up around twelve that night,
- 8:02Speaker 2: that's right in between Sarah's two visits to Benny's house,
- 8:05Speaker 2: the exact window where Benny was murdered, and with how
- 8:09Speaker 2: the car was allegedly driving, it really does seem as
- 8:12Speaker 2: though this hummer has something to do with Benny's murder.
- 8:16Speaker 2: They just need to figure out who was inside. And conveniently,
- 8:20Speaker 2: a neighbor overheard this conversation and told the police that
- 8:23Speaker 2: he knows a man in the neighborhood that drives a
- 8:25Speaker 2: hummer exactly like the one described. Unfortunately, he doesn't know
- 8:29Speaker 2: the guy's real name, only his nickname Jay Bird.
- 8:34Speaker 3: You're just assuming j Bird.
- 8:37Speaker 13: Being connected to a hommer crush.
- 8:40Speaker 3: You don't know right now.
- 8:42Speaker 10: I don't have any personal knowledge about that, but I
- 8:45Speaker 10: know that I've seen him many times with them with
- 8:48Speaker 10: a well color.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Roughly, I say, you dussy, dussy gold.
- 8:55Speaker 13: I gat so you've seen jay girl only trying this
- 8:58Speaker 13: gold ahead.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, it sounded like this Jay Bird was a
- 9:03Speaker 2: prime suspect, but nobody on the scene right now was
- 9:06Speaker 2: able to tell them his real name. But before they're
- 9:09Speaker 2: able to figure it out, they're confronted with a fourth suspect.
- 9:13Speaker 2: And it was the last person that anyone had expected.
- 9:16Speaker 2: This is Benny's daughter, Patricia, and as soon as she
- 9:19Speaker 2: showed up on the scene, she seemed to already have
- 9:21Speaker 2: her mind made up about who the killer really was.
- 9:31Speaker 3: Away but.
- 9:37Speaker 6: Did you start to it's down there. Let me say this,
- 9:41Speaker 6: front me that lady down there has been paying his bills,
- 9:47Speaker 6: and she's been taking all his money and not paying
- 9:49Speaker 6: on his bills. So the gas bill I have not
- 9:52Speaker 6: yet paid. I don't have a bill, so I don't
- 9:55Speaker 6: have a bill to say, because she's not giving him
- 9:56Speaker 6: the bills, she's keeping them. She's four, she is right
- 10:00Speaker 6: on the receipt what she is supposed to.
- 10:02Speaker 13: Pay versus what she really paid.
- 10:06Speaker 6: And this has been going on for over three months,
- 10:08Speaker 6: so she's never going all for three months. He's never
- 10:10Speaker 6: had a bill that he never paid in full until
- 10:13Speaker 6: this lady got the street decided that she was gonna
- 10:16Speaker 6: help him. She took own herself to help him. And
- 10:19Speaker 6: that's her way to get her drug fixed is by
- 10:21Speaker 6: taking his money.
- 10:22Speaker 2: That's right. She's talking about Sarah. Apparently, since she's taken
- 10:27Speaker 2: over paying Benny's bills, they've all either been late or underpaid.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Patricia is certain that she's been stealing money from Benny
- 10:34Speaker 2: this way, and in fact, she thinks she might have
- 10:37Speaker 2: stolen even more too.
- 10:39Speaker 6: And his money's got to still be in there, because
- 10:40Speaker 6: I know exactly where it's at. It's in a cabinet,
- 10:44Speaker 6: in this kitchen and a coffee boat.
- 10:47Speaker 3: That was cool.
- 10:49Speaker 13: I'm tom, you should be at the body's normal.
- 10:53Speaker 3: I'll be right back that.
- 11:26Speaker 13: We're not referring out there.
- 11:28Speaker 1: It was in here, So whoever did this knows exactly
- 11:32Speaker 1: where he into money and she's won and Johnny, those
- 11:36Speaker 1: are the two that come down here those who are
- 11:38Speaker 1: the suspect.
- 11:39Speaker 3: I'm telling you there's nobody else them too.
- 11:43Speaker 2: Everything is starting to fall into place, and now makes
- 11:46Speaker 2: sense why the cabinets were flung open. Whoever killed Benny
- 11:49Speaker 2: was looking for money. And that's not even the biggest revelation.
- 11:52Speaker 2: The cops were about to have not even clothes. Currently
- 11:56Speaker 2: they have four suspects, and any one of them could
- 11:59Speaker 2: be their killer. Each one of these could take days
- 12:01Speaker 2: to interview in process, but with every hour that passes,
- 12:05Speaker 2: the killer is getting closer to finding their next victim. Luckily,
- 12:09Speaker 2: after talking to another neighbor, they were given some vital
- 12:12Speaker 2: information that cut down their search just a little bit
- 12:15Speaker 2: and sent them in the direction of one man. In particular,
- 12:19Speaker 2: they were able to discover that Justin, one of the
- 12:21Speaker 2: suspected brothers from earlier, had a nickname Jay Bird. The money,
- 12:26Speaker 2: the gun, the drugs, the hummer. Everything was lining up
- 12:30Speaker 2: and in the cops' minds, this could definitely be their killer.
- 12:33Speaker 2: So to ensure they had all the information possible, they
- 12:36Speaker 2: started interviewing his brother Johnny, so that when they got
- 12:39Speaker 2: around to Justin, they'd have no trouble getting him to
- 12:42Speaker 2: confess all hell.
- 12:44Speaker 13: Probably afternoon. I took my dog over there so you
- 12:47Speaker 13: could see him, Me and my wife did. I had
- 12:50Speaker 13: her take dog round back. Then I brought the dog
- 12:53Speaker 13: in for a couple minutes he could pat it. He
- 12:54Speaker 13: got pissed off about something, so we left. What what
- 12:58Speaker 13: do you get pissed off about?
- 13:00Speaker 3: He did?
- 13:00Speaker 13: What did he get dog he's got? He don't like
- 13:04Speaker 13: no other dogs, you know what I mean? Being around
- 13:06Speaker 13: his little doll. Because he's praaded. The dog is gonna
- 13:08Speaker 13: eat him. Do you do you go over and see
- 13:10Speaker 13: him quite often? Yeh, sure do lodrin drink of beer,
- 13:13Speaker 13: wouldn't just about every day?
- 13:15Speaker 11: So you ast saw him yesterday about seven thirty.
- 13:17Speaker 16: In the evening.
- 13:18Speaker 13: Yeah, what's this all about?
- 13:20Speaker 14: He's dead.
- 13:21Speaker 13: You gotta be kidding me.
- 13:22Speaker 7: Damn, I'm not.
- 13:24Speaker 13: Oh my god, I gotta go down there.
- 13:28Speaker 2: The cops figured this reaction to be genuine, and as
- 13:31Speaker 2: they talked to him more, they became certain that Johnny
- 13:34Speaker 2: didn't know anything about the crime. But that doesn't mean
- 13:37Speaker 2: his brother is innocent. In fact, what Johnny is about
- 13:40Speaker 2: to say, actually makes the cops even more suspicious.
- 13:44Speaker 17: Who is justin brother?
- 13:46Speaker 3: Okay?
- 13:46Speaker 17: Would he have seen him later than you?
- 13:49Speaker 13: He ain't been a lot around down there. If somebody
- 13:52Speaker 13: said they saw him down there, that wouldn't be true.
- 13:54Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 13:55Speaker 13: I'm when I go down there, my brother ain't there.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Usually Johnny and Justin would go and see Benny every
- 14:01Speaker 2: morning at around sunset, and that's been the case for
- 14:03Speaker 2: the last three years since his wife passed away. Johnny
- 14:07Speaker 2: can't think of a reason for Justin to be down
- 14:09Speaker 2: there so early, especially not on his own without telling him.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Johnny was even able to provide some extra details about
- 14:15Speaker 2: the disagreement they had recently, proving to the cops just
- 14:18Speaker 2: how heated it had gotten between them.
- 14:20Speaker 13: He told, look, gets away from my house. Don't you
- 14:22Speaker 13: ever come back again. I've loan your money four or
- 14:26Speaker 13: five times on this bold junk stuff that you bring me.
- 14:29Speaker 13: I'm on a fixed income here. I can't just keep giving.
- 14:34Speaker 13: He physically pushed him.
- 14:35Speaker 15: Oh yeah.
- 14:37Speaker 2: By this point, the cops had already heard all they
- 14:40Speaker 2: needed to hear. Nineteen hours later, they managed to track
- 14:43Speaker 2: down Justin and would bring him in for interrogation. Justin
- 14:46Speaker 2: was left in the interrogation room for around forty five
- 14:49Speaker 2: minutes before the interrogation began. This is a tactic used
- 14:52Speaker 2: among many others to make Justin feel as uncomfortable as possible.
- 15:00Speaker 3: Yes, you are arrested for those lawrence we talked about.
- 15:07Speaker 3: You got four lawrance on you? How you know it?
- 15:10Speaker 3: What's your relationship with.
- 15:12Speaker 4: You?
- 15:13Speaker 3: Kind of take us to hear that. My brother he
- 15:17Speaker 3: was more or less like a stepfather pretty much. So
- 15:21Speaker 3: I should a stick at giving you a dollar or
- 15:24Speaker 3: cigarette or salty eat or you know what I mean?
- 15:27Speaker 3: Under the next door to him there for four or
- 15:30Speaker 3: five months, and I had a warm which I went
- 15:34Speaker 3: in my time and got it all taken care of,
- 15:36Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So if you're asking, did
- 15:38Speaker 3: I Q? No, I did not.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Seems rather straightforward from Justin's perspective. He had exactly the
- 15:44Speaker 2: same nice things to say about Benny and doesn't seem
- 15:46Speaker 2: stressed out or anxious about being here. He's leaning forwards
- 15:50Speaker 2: towards the detective instead of instinctively pulling away. He's maintaining
- 15:53Speaker 2: eye contact when he can, and his tone seems deliberate
- 15:56Speaker 2: and genuine. Everything about how he's presenting himself is relaxed,
- 16:00Speaker 2: as though he's just trying to give the detectives what
- 16:02Speaker 2: they need and get out of there. But unfortunately, just
- 16:05Speaker 2: saying you didn't murder someone isn't enough for the cops,
- 16:08Speaker 2: so they decided to confront him with the evidence they've
- 16:10Speaker 2: gathered against him.
- 16:13Speaker 12: So, you know, we talked to.
- 16:15Speaker 15: Everybody in the neighborhood. He said, for one person that
- 16:19Speaker 15: they said he bagged from the house.
- 16:22Speaker 3: Was yeah, he sent over money or what was that about?
- 16:28Speaker 3: Uh yeah, it was over money, but uh no, I
- 16:32Speaker 3: it was my brother at to.
- 16:37Speaker 15: Okay told me about Tell me sorry, did you say
- 16:43Speaker 15: anything about a shotgun?
- 16:45Speaker 3: Yeah? My brother. He's like, I should take my jack
- 16:49Speaker 3: get down here. A couple of the twins in his head.
- 16:53Speaker 3: He saidcast he never had a problem me money or
- 17:00Speaker 3: anything on today or an out of his pocket. He
- 17:04Speaker 3: was a good guy and Carl out.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Justin was banned from the house and there was an
- 17:11Speaker 2: argument over money, but it doesn't seem like he held
- 17:13Speaker 2: that against Benny at all. But the detectives find this strange.
- 17:17Speaker 2: All the signs pointed towards Justin being the killer, but
- 17:21Speaker 2: now he seems like he had no issues with Benny
- 17:23Speaker 2: at all, but they've still got their main piece of evidence.
- 17:25Speaker 2: Though his hummer was seen at Benny's house on the
- 17:28Speaker 2: morning of the murder, that had to mean he was
- 17:31Speaker 2: lying this whole time, right.
- 17:33Speaker 3: Uh, Droe? Or you used to grab a hommer, Homer?
- 17:37Speaker 3: You ever grab a hommer in a neighborhood? That'll want
- 17:41Speaker 3: to work on news.
- 17:49Speaker 2: If you watch any interrogation where a guilty suspect is
- 17:52Speaker 2: confronted with a piece of valid evidence, their reaction is
- 17:55Speaker 2: always very stiff and short. They try and deflect it
- 17:58Speaker 2: immediately by saying no, oh and explaining exactly why that
- 18:02Speaker 2: could never be the case without showing a hint of emotion.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Justin is an ex convict that works various handyman jobs,
- 18:08Speaker 2: jumping from place to place. He doesn't need to explain
- 18:11Speaker 2: why he doesn't own a forty thousand dollars SUV. His
- 18:14Speaker 2: facial expression when he's asked, alongside the way he laughs
- 18:17Speaker 2: and jokes naturally about the concept, is enough to tell
- 18:20Speaker 2: the detectives he was telling the truth. They still didn't
- 18:23Speaker 2: want to discount him completely as a suspect, but they
- 18:26Speaker 2: did figure that if he wasn't the killer, then he
- 18:29Speaker 2: might at least be able to help them out. So
- 18:31Speaker 2: they asked who he thought might have been responsible, and
- 18:33Speaker 2: his answer was someone they were very familiar with, Sarah.
- 18:38Speaker 3: She knew she took.
- 18:40Speaker 18: Fans Bright cards to the bank, foodstamps as well.
- 18:44Speaker 3: My brother was felling me on the pall the other
- 18:46Speaker 3: day and he thinks that she might have something to
- 18:51Speaker 3: do with it. So I pulled a finger. I'd probably
- 18:55Speaker 3: checked her for sure.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Of course, he's talking about Sarah, and he's accusing her
- 19:01Speaker 2: of exactly the same thing Patricia did earlier. And in
- 19:04Speaker 2: fact John had even mentioned this in his interview earlier
- 19:07Speaker 2: that day too.
- 19:09Speaker 12: Anybody in that neighborhood or anybody have any problems with him,
- 19:12Speaker 12: or give him a rough down.
- 19:13Speaker 13: What's called down the street here's that I'm trying to
- 19:16Speaker 13: think of her name. She lives down at the end
- 19:18Speaker 13: of the road. She'd go over there and take his
- 19:21Speaker 13: money for Bill's well with the corner store, and I
- 19:23Speaker 13: was supposed to pay on all his bills. Will come
- 19:25Speaker 13: to find out she ain't been paying a full amount
- 19:28Speaker 13: on your bills. She's been only paying the half. And
- 19:31Speaker 13: I went over there one day, he said, after all
- 19:34Speaker 13: I've done for that kid.
- 19:35Speaker 11: Did they reconcile it or no?
- 19:37Speaker 13: He said, look, your thief, get the fuck out of
- 19:41Speaker 13: my house. Don't ever ask me for another time.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Quickly, the cops are starting to realize that Sarah wasn't
- 19:47Speaker 2: the wonderful, trusted member of the community that they'd assume
- 19:50Speaker 2: she was. Now three people have claimed that she was
- 19:53Speaker 2: exploiting Benny's trust to steal his money, and all are
- 19:56Speaker 2: saying that she could be the killer. To make matters
- 19:59Speaker 2: worse for her, He's also the only person left that
- 20:01Speaker 2: knew about his money stash in the coffee can. Things
- 20:05Speaker 2: are getting extremely complex, and the cops have already worked
- 20:08Speaker 2: tirelessly for days now. And the problem is the longer
- 20:11Speaker 2: this investigation goes on for, the longer the killer is
- 20:14Speaker 2: on the loose, meaning the higher the chances that they
- 20:17Speaker 2: might kill again. So now, six days after Benny's murder,
- 20:21Speaker 2: detectives bring in Sarah for an interview. It was imperative
- 20:24Speaker 2: that they either catch the killer right now or get
- 20:27Speaker 2: new information that brings them straight to them. If they don't,
- 20:30Speaker 2: then they'll have no suspects, no leads, and a murderer
- 20:34Speaker 2: at large.
- 20:37Speaker 3: You know that Carl got the Bards that we understand
- 20:44Speaker 3: that he pays bills. About that, well, that's where we
- 20:52Speaker 3: had did not remember why I was still still that there.
- 21:05Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 21:06Speaker 2: In the interviews, similarly to Justin, Sarah doesn't deny the
- 21:09Speaker 2: disagreement between them and fully admits that she took some
- 21:12Speaker 2: money from him to pay his bills, But again they
- 21:15Speaker 2: seem to make up and become friends again. This time
- 21:18Speaker 2: though the detectives aren't buying it.
- 21:21Speaker 13: Not win.
- 21:21Speaker 3: So much is on the line we're hearing before we're
- 21:26Speaker 3: talking about. We're hearing what you're telling us, what we're
- 21:28Speaker 3: hearing from his daughter, and what is the best friends
- 21:32Speaker 3: telling us. Now we've been hearing it that he bandaged
- 21:36Speaker 3: you from coming to his.
- 21:37Speaker 16: House too much, handling his bills or anything like that,
- 21:40Speaker 16: so much as the owner of the store calling him Sammy,
- 21:46Speaker 16: you're telling us that is not true.
- 21:48Speaker 3: That's not true.
- 21:49Speaker 13: That is not true.
- 21:51Speaker 4: It was up there.
- 21:51Speaker 3: I didn't go up there, so I had the forty
- 21:53Speaker 3: dollars I had to pay them.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Sarah is saying that all she took from Benny was
- 21:57Speaker 2: forty dollars, and she even paid it back. It just
- 21:59Speaker 2: been blown out of proportion as she wasn't able to
- 22:02Speaker 2: get in contact with Patricia and Johnny to clear her name. Again,
- 22:05Speaker 2: it's suspicious, But the detectives aren't going to get anything
- 22:09Speaker 2: more out of her on this front, so they decided
- 22:11Speaker 2: to ask her some more background questions. Usually these don't
- 22:14Speaker 2: end up solving the case, but this time one of
- 22:17Speaker 2: their questions provoked an answer that seriously piqued their interest.
- 22:22Speaker 3: There's a lady who was smoking. She had like salt
- 22:25Speaker 3: hat as do you have any other children?
- 22:36Speaker 2: The audio we received from the police department is censored here,
- 22:42Speaker 2: but Sarah tells the cops about her other kid, a
- 22:45Speaker 2: boy named Jason, a boy who had just gotten out
- 22:48Speaker 2: of prison. According to the detectives, when they asked this question,
- 23:12Speaker 2: Sarah tensed up and seemed extremely closed off. She inhales
- 23:17Speaker 2: sharply and her whole body jumps when they bring up
- 23:19Speaker 2: this possibility. As far as the detectives are concerned, whether
- 23:23Speaker 2: intentionally or not, she just told them there is a possibility.
- 23:28Speaker 2: That's all they are able to focus on. And it
- 23:30Speaker 2: all makes sense too. She knew about the coffee can
- 23:33Speaker 2: full of money, so what if she'd accidentally mentioned that
- 23:36Speaker 2: to Jason. He'd just gotten out of prison for robbery.
- 23:39Speaker 2: And it made complete sense if he saw Benny as
- 23:42Speaker 2: an easy target and decided to try and steal his cash.
- 23:45Speaker 2: That could even explain the Hummer too. It was a
- 23:47Speaker 2: nice car that Jason might have jecked and used to
- 23:50Speaker 2: get in and out of the scene quickly. Instantly, the
- 23:53Speaker 2: hunt for Jason began, but no matter how hard they tried,
- 23:57Speaker 2: they just couldn't track him down. But that when some
- 24:00Speaker 2: new information came to light, information that would change everything.
- 24:07Speaker 2: An inmate of the prison Jason was staying at had
- 24:10Speaker 2: contacted police after hearing about the crime, claiming that he
- 24:13Speaker 2: knew who the perpetrator was and promised to reveal it
- 24:16Speaker 2: to them in an interview so full he told one of.
- 24:21Speaker 3: The deputies, you get some information about homicide. That's about
- 24:25Speaker 3: the old guy.
- 24:26Speaker 12: I got stab yeah, his mother from the body, and
- 24:30Speaker 12: then I heard him from his mom art and love
- 24:32Speaker 12: the phone mob. It was go that far, uncus you
- 24:38Speaker 12: always going in the house quick enough when she didn't
- 24:40Speaker 12: know enough for years, everybody in neighborhood though he did it,
- 24:44Speaker 12: just nobody he.
- 24:45Speaker 3: Was speaking on it.
- 24:46Speaker 2: Oh why the inmates said he'd heard Jason and Sarah
- 24:50Speaker 2: talking about the murder on the phone. After Jason thought
- 24:53Speaker 2: he'd hung up. The cops now had no doubt in
- 24:56Speaker 2: their minds who their new number one suspect was, and
- 25:00Speaker 2: by this point in the investigation, it's likely Jason's cash
- 25:03Speaker 2: was starting to run out. They had to find him
- 25:05Speaker 2: as soon as possible before he got the chance to
- 25:08Speaker 2: kill again, but unfortunately they were already too late.
- 25:17Speaker 5: I can police in fire Canty, Ky.
- 25:20Speaker 3: My name is George Bayliss. I'm bound and harder now,
- 25:23Speaker 3: but my father's still up an accron.
- 25:26Speaker 13: We haven't been able to get ahold of him. And
- 25:28Speaker 13: some of his neighbors got a hold of me today
- 25:30Speaker 13: too and said they haven't seen him since that to day.
- 25:33Speaker 3: They said there were some people over there they didn't
- 25:35Speaker 3: really recognize.
- 25:37Speaker 6: All right, So we have it and we're going to
- 25:38Speaker 6: get some on over and check it out, and then
- 25:41Speaker 6: we can give you a follow up call.
- 25:43Speaker 2: The police quickly initiated a welfare check on George's father,
- 25:46Speaker 2: Gary Ballas. When they arrived, they knocked on the front door,
- 25:50Speaker 2: and after receiving no response, the officers forced entry through
- 25:54Speaker 2: a side door.
- 26:00Speaker 11: Heay Afrin police.
- 26:06Speaker 13: Here, it's affrom play.
- 26:13Speaker 8: Yay.
- 26:15Speaker 2: On Thursday May twenty first, Gary Balas was found dead.
- 26:20Speaker 2: It was obvious he'd been dead for a few days,
- 26:22Speaker 2: and given the abundance of stab wounds, it was ruled
- 26:26Speaker 2: a homicide. An investigation would turn up very little information,
- 26:30Speaker 2: except for the fact that Gary's car was missing from
- 26:33Speaker 2: the driveway, So next they started to talk to his
- 26:36Speaker 2: neighbors to see if they knew anything about what had happened.
- 26:47Speaker 11: Acer police just wonder if I could talk to you
- 26:50Speaker 11: a couple of seconds about your neighbor behind you. When's
- 26:53Speaker 11: the last time you saw.
- 26:56Speaker 13: Please?
- 26:57Speaker 11: Don't was anybody there with them?
- 27:00Speaker 13: He came over here?
- 27:02Speaker 4: What did he say?
- 27:03Speaker 3: He came over to pick flowers? Purple ones?
- 27:06Speaker 13: Relax?
- 27:07Speaker 11: Did he have anybody with him when he was there?
- 27:11Speaker 11: Did he have that car there? Tuesday?
- 27:13Speaker 18: I don't remember.
- 27:14Speaker 5: I was I was over here, right, Do you remember?
- 27:17Speaker 11: Do you know what kind of car?
- 27:17Speaker 3: It is?
- 27:19Speaker 13: Blue station wagon?
- 27:20Speaker 3: Sup?
- 27:21Speaker 15: Yeah?
- 27:22Speaker 11: Anybody else live here that might have seen him? Just kid,
- 27:29Speaker 11: Have you seen your neighbor lately?
- 27:31Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 27:32Speaker 13: No, last time I saw him?
- 27:36Speaker 11: The car was there when she took the flowers over?
- 27:38Speaker 11: Do you remember a week? Do you want to step
- 27:41Speaker 11: out here for one second?
- 27:45Speaker 3: So Gary?
- 27:46Speaker 11: Gary is the season. It's looking suspicious. That's why I'm
- 27:51Speaker 11: asking you these questions. He hasn't mentioned anybody. You haven't seen,
- 27:55Speaker 11: you haven't heard any fighting, so obviously then somebody before.
- 28:01Speaker 2: It's a little odd for Gary's car not to have
- 28:03Speaker 2: been at his place for over a week, especially given
- 28:06Speaker 2: Gary was still home. There's a chance that this family
- 28:09Speaker 2: could be misremembering, but the cops got exactly the same
- 28:12Speaker 2: information from each of the other neighbors.
- 28:18Speaker 11: Sir, are you familiar with the older gentleman that lives
- 28:24Speaker 11: at the blue house across the street?
- 28:26Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 28:27Speaker 3: Gary, Gary? Yeah?
- 28:28Speaker 10: Sorry, Hey, dang, Gary, what's it? Cheers to help him out?
- 28:39Speaker 10: Jan's the baby saying his wife?
- 28:42Speaker 5: When's last time you've seen Gary?
- 28:46Speaker 13: Over days?
- 28:46Speaker 14: A couple of days?
- 28:47Speaker 10: Yeah, like.
- 28:49Speaker 3: You remember what day that was? Yeah? Monday, Monday, Yeah,
- 28:59Speaker 3: busy was cutting his grass?
- 29:01Speaker 11: Was you were investigating an incident at a clone over there?
- 29:06Speaker 3: Okay?
- 29:07Speaker 2: The only issue was not a single one of the
- 29:10Speaker 2: neighbors could tell the cops who might be driving that car.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Gary did have visitors over somewhat frequently, but they never
- 29:17Speaker 2: used his car. If the cops could figure out where
- 29:19Speaker 2: the vehicle was and who took it, it seems like
- 29:22Speaker 2: they'd have a pretty sure shot at finding the murderer,
- 29:25Speaker 2: and that's when they talked to this couple who claimed
- 29:27Speaker 2: they've seen a new guy around his house recently.
- 29:34Speaker 11: Excuse me, has anybody you've been over to talk to
- 29:36Speaker 11: you guys here?
- 29:37Speaker 3: You know?
- 29:38Speaker 14: Okay?
- 29:39Speaker 13: You know I called called the police out here yesterday
- 29:42Speaker 13: and were in there.
- 29:44Speaker 3: Well, what did you call him yesterday for?
- 29:46Speaker 13: Because I haven'ttinued Saturday and it's not like him to
- 29:50Speaker 13: leave town. And I'm not telling me.
- 29:52Speaker 7: If you don't see him since Saturday?
- 29:54Speaker 15: Door?
- 29:55Speaker 13: Did you said? You guys are positive though it was Saturday?
- 29:58Speaker 11: His grass?
- 29:59Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 30:00Speaker 14: Have you seen a guy.
- 30:03Speaker 13: I've before?
- 30:04Speaker 3: It was the white of black, was younger.
- 30:09Speaker 11: Yeah, this car wasn't there.
- 30:15Speaker 2: But soon the cops were able to put together exactly
- 30:18Speaker 2: what had happened. It turns out Gary was never in
- 30:21Speaker 2: that car with the other man. When his car pulled
- 30:24Speaker 2: out of his driveway for the last time, Gary was
- 30:28Speaker 2: already dead, but at least they had a description of
- 30:31Speaker 2: who they thought the murderer was, and even better, just
- 30:34Speaker 2: a short time after, the cops received word that his
- 30:37Speaker 2: car had been seen at a gas station on a
- 30:39Speaker 2: surveillance camera. Unfortunately, the camera quality was too poor to
- 30:43Speaker 2: properly make out his identity, but at least the cops
- 30:46Speaker 2: now know without a shadow of a doubt that if
- 30:48Speaker 2: they find that car, they can find the man that
- 30:52Speaker 2: killed Gary. But it turns out someone had already done
- 30:55Speaker 2: that for them. An unnamed witness came forward and told
- 31:00Speaker 2: them that he'd seen that very car and knew precisely
- 31:04Speaker 2: who it now belonged to.
- 31:06Speaker 13: Jason came over seventday morning. He was gonna help me work.
- 31:10Speaker 3: On the house I'm working on. Do you know Jason's last.
- 31:13Speaker 4: Name Shockley or I can't, how you want to pronounce
- 31:15Speaker 4: it something like that. Anyway, he came over. But I
- 31:18Speaker 4: had to go to Harvard.
- 31:19Speaker 13: Freight because I needed to grinder, and so I told him.
- 31:22Speaker 16: I said, I got to go to Harvard Freight.
- 31:24Speaker 3: He said, oh, I take you.
- 31:25Speaker 4: And I said, wait a minute, Jason, I said, I'm
- 31:27Speaker 4: not getting the no hot car. I said that car hot.
- 31:29Speaker 4: He said, no, the car's not HOTID will you no,
- 31:31Speaker 4: I wouldn't do you like that. The car's not hot.
- 31:33Speaker 2: The car this man is talking about is Gary's Subaru.
- 31:37Speaker 2: But more importantly, he just mentioned the name of the
- 31:40Speaker 2: man they believe killed Benny Jason Shockley. This was a
- 31:45Speaker 2: shocking breakthrough in both cases. Not only have they essentially
- 31:49Speaker 2: just solved Gary's murder, but now they're hot on Jason's
- 31:52Speaker 2: tail and have more evidence than ever to try and
- 31:55Speaker 2: track him down. Back on the scene, they'd also noticed
- 31:58Speaker 2: that Gary's credit cards had been stolen, and this guy's
- 32:01Speaker 2: story even lines up perfectly with that too.
- 32:03Speaker 3: He said, my friend, let me use it.
- 32:05Speaker 2: He went to Florida.
- 32:06Speaker 4: He gave me a credit card, told me to keep
- 32:09Speaker 4: gas in it and I could buy cigarettes and buy
- 32:11Speaker 4: me something to eat if I need it.
- 32:13Speaker 13: And I was kind of like it, not believing it,
- 32:15Speaker 13: but he said elsewhere.
- 32:16Speaker 2: It almost seemed too good to be true. So the
- 32:19Speaker 2: detectives asked the witnesses to pick Jason out of a
- 32:22Speaker 2: photo lineup, and he pointed straight at him. Instantly, Jason
- 32:26Speaker 2: was now the suspect of a double homicide, and two
- 32:30Speaker 2: citywide investigations had converged into one. Every single officer and
- 32:35Speaker 2: detective in the area knew they couldn't let Jason take
- 32:38Speaker 2: another life, so they had to act fast and hunt
- 32:41Speaker 2: him down. That's when police received one final phone call,
- 32:45Speaker 2: this time from Sarah Evans Jason's mother on that call.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Knowing how dangerous he could be, she decided to give
- 32:53Speaker 2: up her own son and told the police the address
- 32:57Speaker 2: of his safe house.
- 32:59Speaker 15: I know.
- 33:04Speaker 8: Which houses It's the.
- 33:05Speaker 13: Second one, the one on the rights. Eighteen eighty seven.
- 33:08Speaker 15: Is there a way to do that?
- 33:14Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 33:19Speaker 16: Yeah?
- 33:25Speaker 11: Orts there?
- 33:26Speaker 7: Four?
- 33:26Speaker 3: Chancel seven, what's happen?
- 33:29Speaker 2: Stating the house was abandoned, boarded up, and dirty. It
- 33:41Speaker 2: was unclear if anyone was even inside, but the Cobs
- 33:44Speaker 2: have to be extremely vigilant, as they know Jason could
- 33:47Speaker 2: be armed. After clearing the first floor, they moved upstairs
- 33:51Speaker 2: as a group and tried to figure out where Jason
- 33:54Speaker 2: was hiding. Only one door on this floor was fully
- 34:29Speaker 2: closed and every other room was empty. This is where
- 34:33Speaker 2: they think Jason is. Problem is, they've already made a
- 34:37Speaker 2: lot of noise, so whoever's on the other side of
- 34:40Speaker 2: that door could be prepared. That's why they decide to
- 34:44Speaker 2: storm in.
- 34:51Speaker 13: Hands, don't roll over, bloom on the top of your head,
- 34:55Speaker 13: roll in your stomach, hands and behind your back. Let's go.
- 35:00Speaker 2: Is it.
- 35:03Speaker 15: Right?
- 35:08Speaker 3: It's been like.
- 35:16Speaker 12: Maybe else in the house.
- 35:17Speaker 3: That's say you know, I'm saying, really gonna be mad.
- 35:21Speaker 7: Besides the n Yeah, alright, stand down, took picture?
- 35:31Speaker 3: O ecuse me?
- 35:34Speaker 13: What CRUs you got shoes and white people go to
- 35:36Speaker 13: a girl?
- 35:37Speaker 3: Where do the shoes at? Where going in the back
- 35:40Speaker 3: the right? Or you learn what a paddle you take him? Yeah?
- 35:44Speaker 2: You learn a power?
- 35:46Speaker 3: You're in your tricks up at rything? Regular?
- 35:54Speaker 13: How old are you not?
- 35:55Speaker 16: Man?
- 35:56Speaker 3: Or you remember you was a kid?
- 35:58Speaker 15: Over there?
- 35:58Speaker 2: Man on hoous and block? Man?
- 36:04Speaker 3: Is this nail shutter?
- 36:05Speaker 13: Can you get this with Jason?
- 36:13Speaker 3: Are you out there? The very coll alright? I don't
- 36:25Speaker 3: think so. I don't think we need to get.
- 36:45Speaker 2: Just as they'd hoped, Jason was found lying amongst rubble
- 36:49Speaker 2: and trash on the second floor, attempting to hide away
- 36:52Speaker 2: from the very people who just put him in cuffs. Thankfully,
- 36:55Speaker 2: he put up no resistance and a quick sweep of
- 36:58Speaker 2: the house confirmed he was the only person here. Amongst
- 37:02Speaker 2: the trash on the floor, the officers found multiple knives
- 37:05Speaker 2: and a credit card belonging to Gary Ballas. After six
- 37:09Speaker 2: weeks of investigations, they'd finally caught him. He was then
- 37:13Speaker 2: taken out of the house and into the back of
- 37:15Speaker 2: a patrol car. But there was still one problem with
- 37:19Speaker 2: all of this, they still had no evidence that he
- 37:22Speaker 2: was the one who killed Benny all those weeks ago.
- 37:24Speaker 2: Sure the connection is strange and multiple people have accused him,
- 37:28Speaker 2: but there's nothing solid. That's what the cops wanted to
- 37:31Speaker 2: change in the interrogation room and bring peace to Benny's
- 37:35Speaker 2: family almost two months after his death. Remember, Jason is
- 37:41Speaker 2: likely not aware of exactly how much the cops know.
- 37:45Speaker 2: All he knows is that he was arrested and now
- 37:48Speaker 2: the cops are interrogating him. He might even think that
- 37:51Speaker 2: they don't know about the murders and that he could
- 37:53Speaker 2: get away with everything.
- 37:56Speaker 3: How do you know, Mary Daylish.
- 37:59Speaker 19: I knew that you Like I said my cousin the
- 38:01Speaker 19: next door about my mind used to go over and
- 38:04Speaker 19: help him out a lot.
- 38:05Speaker 3: You get it. He gets telling me about how he
- 38:07Speaker 3: hates uh, I will everything. He's a very's part.
- 38:14Speaker 19: Man.
- 38:15Speaker 3: Yeah, he's out there. He's a trip. Yeah, I see him.
- 38:20Speaker 3: You know that there'ld be a possibility if people live
- 38:23Speaker 3: his car so like so work stuff.
- 38:26Speaker 17: Okay, you know he's if you ordered for a second,
- 38:29Speaker 17: you know what I mean? He doesn't like pep using
- 38:31Speaker 17: his car and stuff. Right, he was like, I'm bes
- 38:35Speaker 17: I think. He was like, I want to see you.
- 38:38Speaker 17: I want to see you succeed, he said, I want
- 38:40Speaker 17: to see you like you know, you know that just
- 38:43Speaker 17: got to have a prison.
- 38:44Speaker 3: So how you a carful?
- 38:47Speaker 9: And I've had his car for a few days. I've
- 38:52Speaker 9: known Gary for almost nine years. Oh wow, yet a
- 38:57Speaker 9: long relationship. I've stayed a night or two at his house.
- 39:01Speaker 3: Orders.
- 39:05Speaker 2: Everything up until this point is mostly the truth. He
- 39:09Speaker 2: did know Gary, and he had spent some time with
- 39:11Speaker 2: him recently. But remember he was found with Gary's stolen
- 39:15Speaker 2: credit cards in his stolen car just days after he
- 39:19Speaker 2: was murdered. This is shaping up to be a textbook
- 39:22Speaker 2: interrogation where the detectives will have to catch him out
- 39:25Speaker 2: in various lies in order to extract the truth, and
- 39:28Speaker 2: they're about to start that process. Immediately.
- 39:35Speaker 8: Told you what I have people that are in the
- 39:39Speaker 8: area that see you and him together. He's been deceased
- 39:44Speaker 8: since about the same time you see him. You guys
- 39:46Speaker 8: hard in his credit cards. They told you he lends
- 39:52Speaker 8: me just far well, why is his neighbors and his
- 39:57Speaker 8: son and.
- 40:02Speaker 3: And that's where. But all that on the outer door.
- 40:11Speaker 2: He's claiming that Gary had lent him his car for
- 40:14Speaker 2: work and had used the credit cards he'd left in
- 40:16Speaker 2: his car to just buy a few cigarettes. But clearly
- 40:20Speaker 2: the cops don't believe him. In fact, this entire questioning
- 40:23Speaker 2: segment about Gary is more of a formality. They have
- 40:26Speaker 2: much more evidence about this crime than they do Benny's,
- 40:30Speaker 2: so their plan is to try and have him confess
- 40:32Speaker 2: to Gary's murder so that confessing to Benny's doesn't seem
- 40:35Speaker 2: like such a big deal. It seems like a clever strategy,
- 40:38Speaker 2: but it won't work if Jason simply refuses to admit
- 40:42Speaker 2: to anything.
- 40:45Speaker 3: I agree with us. It's kind of weird that you're
- 40:48Speaker 3: the last person with him. Yes, I find that weird.
- 40:53Speaker 3: You know, I see what you guys staying with. But
- 40:55Speaker 3: at the same time, I'm not us. You know, sometimes
- 41:02Speaker 3: people don't know man, and sometimes you know and already know.
- 41:05Speaker 3: If you know, nor no anybody then knows me will
- 41:09Speaker 3: tell me that's not what I do. So what im right?
- 41:13Speaker 3: I'm a smoker because I was ten years old, but
- 41:18Speaker 3: know what I do?
- 41:18Speaker 15: So stupid like that.
- 41:22Speaker 3: At all?
- 41:23Speaker 15: If you are a jury and you heard your story
- 41:27Speaker 15: about a man who loaned you his car, who has
- 41:32Speaker 15: been known not to loan his car to anybody. His
- 41:37Speaker 15: family says his name says so because if you don't
- 41:41Speaker 15: help yourself, this could end up really bad for you.
- 41:47Speaker 2: When confronted with the cold, hard facts, something changes about Jason.
- 41:52Speaker 2: He loses his confidence. He's fidgeting with his hands to
- 41:55Speaker 2: try and distract himself. He avoids making eye contact with
- 41:58Speaker 2: the detective. However, he can with or be looking down
- 42:00Speaker 2: at the table, up at the ceiling, or even at
- 42:02Speaker 2: the wall next to him. He almost looks ashamed, and
- 42:06Speaker 2: that's no illusion. Pay close attention to what he does next,
- 42:09Speaker 2: as it marks the beginning of a startling confession.
- 42:15Speaker 15: Even if you did wrong and the judge and you
- 42:19Speaker 15: meet to what happened and everything else, the judge takes
- 42:21Speaker 15: that into consideration because it shows remorse.
- 42:28Speaker 3: Want me turned off? Stops. I'm not raising anything. He
- 42:38Speaker 3: raised the first one. I'm not raising anything that that is.
- 42:42Speaker 14: I can.
- 42:44Speaker 3: Say, you bring one first one. Let's what you say.
- 42:50Speaker 3: It's completely off.
- 42:52Speaker 2: Jason thinks that that audio recorder is the only thing
- 42:55Speaker 2: recording what he's saying right now. Somehow he doesn't realize
- 42:59Speaker 2: the camera in the corner also has a microphone built in,
- 43:02Speaker 2: So now that the audio recorder is off. He thinks
- 43:05Speaker 2: he's free to say whatever he wants.
- 43:08Speaker 18: He's over there drinking all of this stuff. I guess
- 43:14Speaker 18: I'm about twenty dollars and he's telling me about hisself.
- 43:18Speaker 19: And then you have to be you know, okay, you
- 43:27Speaker 19: have to talking a little crazy, So you know what,
- 43:36Speaker 19: I gotta go think it leave in dos cut that.
- 43:45Speaker 3: And why he took his knife and twisting down and
- 43:51Speaker 3: he dropped the night the night back into his chair.
- 43:58Speaker 3: He said, shoes when you agreed.
- 44:11Speaker 2: It was a textbook confession, and the cops did an
- 44:14Speaker 2: incredible job at helping him through it and making him
- 44:17Speaker 2: feel comfortable. The thing is, they know this still isn't
- 44:21Speaker 2: the whole truth, but it's all they need for now.
- 44:24Speaker 2: They could disprove his self defense story later in court.
- 44:27Speaker 2: What matters is that he admitted to it in some respect.
- 44:31Speaker 2: Now they can switch gears to Benny's murder, but he's
- 44:34Speaker 2: not going to make that one as easy.
- 44:36Speaker 3: You probably aren't going to prove that he did, Benny.
- 44:42Speaker 9: And you're definitely going to be looking at a capital
- 44:46Speaker 9: and I'll be looking at a capital case of or somebody.
- 44:50Speaker 15: Out of here to you told us about Gary had
- 44:54Speaker 15: to take the can and he said two cases are
- 44:56Speaker 15: lack of mirror.
- 44:57Speaker 3: Your lying about the cases being similar.
- 45:00Speaker 2: Despite just being finessed into admitting to murder, Jason suddenly
- 45:04Speaker 2: thinks he's the smartest person in the room. The cases
- 45:07Speaker 2: are almost an exact mirror of each other. But Jason
- 45:10Speaker 2: thinks he can escape liability for at least one of them.
- 45:13Speaker 2: But he's dead wrong.
- 45:14Speaker 15: See here's another thing you just told us. So you
- 45:17Speaker 15: went through Barry's pants. He went to Ben's pants too,
- 45:20Speaker 15: because you know, as Benny was known to carry several
- 45:24Speaker 15: hundred dollars in his pants pocket, that I didn't think
- 45:27Speaker 15: everybody everybody I did.
- 45:30Speaker 8: It, so Benny never pulled money out, and fancy most
- 45:35Speaker 8: moms are like, there's no way keeping it.
- 45:38Speaker 3: No, she she knows were the fact that I didn't
- 45:41Speaker 3: do that. I'm not saying about Benny.
- 45:43Speaker 8: I'm just saying your moms freaking thinking it's possible.
- 45:49Speaker 3: You know what we talked about just did we talked
- 45:54Speaker 3: about She's freaking out And as.
- 45:57Speaker 15: Far as me asking her if I thought it was
- 46:01Speaker 15: now kill now it was, Oh my god, I hope
- 46:04Speaker 15: not jes.
- 46:08Speaker 3: I told him about but Beaby was not me.
- 46:15Speaker 2: And despite all the pressure the cops put on him,
- 46:18Speaker 2: this is the story he stuck to. It seemed he
- 46:21Speaker 2: thought he could maybe convince a jury of one self
- 46:24Speaker 2: defense charge, but two was simply too suspicious. But that
- 46:28Speaker 2: didn't matter, as the cops figured they still knew exactly
- 46:31Speaker 2: what happened. Jason knew Benny through his mother and had
- 46:34Speaker 2: heard about the coffee can of cash he broke in
- 46:37Speaker 2: one morning in an attempt to steal the cash, accidentally
- 46:40Speaker 2: waking Benny in the process. They started fighting and Jason,
- 46:43Speaker 2: fearing he'd call the police, stabbed him multiple times. Eventually
- 46:47Speaker 2: Benny crawled out to the hallway where he bled out.
- 46:50Speaker 2: They also started to discount his story about Gary's murder.
- 46:53Speaker 2: They believed that it wasn't any form of self defense,
- 46:56Speaker 2: and in reality, it was simply a disagreement. Jason had
- 47:00Speaker 2: gotten irrationally angry after Gary refused to let him use
- 47:03Speaker 2: his car. In his rage, he shoved him to the
- 47:06Speaker 2: ground and killed him in the same manner, before stealing
- 47:09Speaker 2: his credit cards and leaving in his car. These are
- 47:13Speaker 2: the theories that the prosecution presented to the jury, and
- 47:17Speaker 2: as expected, they believed them. Only one person was charged
- 47:21Speaker 2: in the murders of Benny King and Gary Ballas Justin, Johnny,
- 47:26Speaker 2: and Sarah were all ruled innocent, but Jason wasn't so lucky.
- 47:31Speaker 2: In twenty twenty two, he was convicted of both of
- 47:34Speaker 2: the murders and sentenced to life in prison. If you're
